Read all about it. Our latest newsletter! Our very popular Casino Night was held at a new location this year. In our spotlights, we have Narnia as our highlighted pet, and Gillian Weber and Melanie Ginter, mom and daughter volunteers. Then there are some great stories from some of our adoptees: Henry, a well traveled little guy, Trevor (Baxter) a training success story, Rocco a story of recovery, and Bullet saving lives. Finally, there was our Sandwich Madness award.

At this time of year, we like to stop and remember all the people and things that we are thankful for. Just some of these things are highlighted in this newsletter and we hope you will take time to read all about it.

We are very excited about our latest newsletter. In this issue we cover our Ruby Slipper Gala, which was a blast. We also introduce two new sections: Ask the Vet and Ask the Trainer. In addition we cover one of our favorite dogs, Hope!

Speaking of favorites, our volunteer highlights are none other than Judy Kautter, one of our most important volunteers, and Annette Anderson who does a great job on our social media. We also could not be happier to announce that DogGone Natural has helped us to forge a new pet food partner, Annamaet! We also had a big win in the Sandwich Madness contest, thanks to Rebecca Cooper.

On a sadder note, we pay tribute to two very special volunteers we recently lost, Teresa Edwards and Kim Wilson. There is no way we can express how deeply we miss them; we still can’t believe they are gone.

Please check out our latest newsletter! In this edition we tell you about a cool way to raise money for AFH just by walking your dog! We also introduce our new advice column expert – Dr. Elwood Pawsington, and tell you all about Baby, who is looking for her forever home. You can read about two more of our awesome volunteers who donate their time to help us, join us in saying goodbye to some wonderful dogs who went to Rainbow Bridge, and join us in thanking some generous donors.

Finally, you can purchase a beautiful calendar of rescue dogs and AFH will get a donation for every purchase!

All we can say is WOW, What A Year!

AFH does lots of great things every year, but when you see it laid out in a list, it makes you realize that it really is impressive what a group of volunteers can accomplish when they set their minds to it! Take a moment to let that sink in … “a group of volunteers” … without your help, none of this could have happened!

We at AFH take our commitment to rescue seriously. Once we pledge to rescue an animal, we provide whatever level of care is necessary to make sure that he or she is adoption ready. This commitment sometimes results in a substantial financial obligation.

We at A Forever Home Rescue Foundation are constantly striving to expand our operations so we can help more homeless dogs. As a business, we recognize that it is critical to manage our existing resources efficiently and to develop new resources that can help us grow. Since we rely solely on adoption fees and donations to function, it is a constant balancing act to make sure that our financial obligations don’t overwhelm us and that we can pay our bills. We are proud of the fact that we pay our bills in full every month. Just like you have to budget for your household, we have to budget for our rescue. The difference is that most people have a set monthly income.
